/**
* @file t-mpi-distrib-exp.cpp
* @brief File for parallel experimentations.
*
* When using parallel evaluation, the individuals to evaluate are sent by packets (group),
* so as to avoid that communication time be more important than worker's execution time.
* However, the ideal size of packet depends on the problem and the time needed to carry out
* the atomic operation on each individual. This experiment tries to find a relation between
* the total number of elements to process (size), the execution time and the size of packet.
* This could lead to an heuristic allowing to optimize the size of packet according to the
* processing times.
